Chapter 10
Valerie’s P.O.V.
“You’ve got something on your chin.” Ashton tells me with a smile.
I groan and wipe my chin off with a napkin. “How did you even convince me to eat? I’m so full.”
“I’m very good at convincing.” He says simply.
“You force fed her the first half of her pizza slice.” Michael says with a laugh.
“Hey, whatever happened to your dog?” Ashton asks.
“Huh?” I ask.
“I mean, the day we first met, you told me you had a dog named Winston. Where’s he?”
“Oh. Well, I do have a dog named Winston. He just kind of doesn’t live with me. My dad has him.” I explain.
“Oh.” Ashton says, frowning.
“It’s not a big deal.” I assure him with a smile. “I actually go to my dad’s house once a month, which kind of sucks, but it’s kind of eh.”
“Well, when are you supposed to go to your dad’s?” Calum asks.
“In a couple of weeks, I think.”
“How long do you stay over there?” Luke asks.
“Like a week.”
“No!” Ashton whines.
“What?” I ask, an amused look on my face.
“I’m gonna miss you.”
“It’s only a week.”
“Ashton doesn’t do well with distance.” Calum says.
“That’s why you guys hang out like, every day.” Luke adds.
“We don’t hang out every day.” I tell them with an eyeroll. “How’s your pizza, Michael?”
“So fucking amazing.” He mutters, taking another bite of pizza.
“I’m paying for it.” Ashton says.
“No! I am!” Luke argues.
“The fuck you are. I am!” Calum yells.
“You guys forgot my present again, didn’t you?” Michael asks with a groan.
“Hey, the party’s at my house and I bought all the shit for it.” Ashton whines.
“I helped set up. I invited everyone.” Luke counters.
“I invited a really hot girl that’s gonna have sex with Michael.” Calum says.
“I got the condoms.” I say with a laugh.
“She wins.” Michael says. “Valerie, you have gotten me the best birthday present ever. I’m in love.”
“Shove off.” Ashton warns.
“All of you, shut up and eat your pizza.” I say with a laugh. “The party starts in less than six hours and I still need to go home and change.”
“You already look nice.” Ashton says.
“Not party nice.” I tell him.
“Girls at parties don’t look nice. They look like sluts. Just a heads up if you wanna know how to dress.” Michael says with a wink.
I roll my eyes. “Shut up and eat your pizza, Clifford.”
My phone rings and I pick it up. It’s my mom.
